Search Tips

Search on metromela.com is fairly simple. Basic search can be done by keying in any local info that you are looking for and hitting Enter. Here are a few tips to help you get better search results.

• Use MetroMela's auto-suggestions and select the right match while keying in the words in the search box.
  Eg: Key in 'food' and you will see auto-suggest options like North Indian food, South Indian food, Italian food, Mexican food etc. Pick from the list to get better search results.
• Narrow your search results by location. This can be done by either entering the area name in the location box or by choosing from the location dropdown in the search results. Eg: If you are looking for 'cufflinks' on MG Road in your city, you can key in 'cufflinks' in the search box and enter 'MG road' in the location box or pick the area from the location dropdown.
• Narrow your search results by deals. All of us love discounts. MetroMela helps you narrow results in such a way that you get to see only those businesses that are currently offering deals and discounts. You just need to check the 'Show only deals and discounts' box that appears on the results page.
• Browse by tags / keywords and get improved results. Several pages on metromela.com display tags in the side panel. Click on the tag that is relevant and you will see all business listings, reviews and guides related to that keyword.
